About Brett
Brett Garcia is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) who draws on twenty years of clinical experience. He offers a thoughtful, compassionate place to talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he sees people from the United Kingdom and internationally.
Brett works in a collaborative way that pays attention to both present difficulties and the past experiences that shape them. He helps people notice patterns in relationships and self‑talk, and how those patterns affect everyday choices. Practical conversation is balanced with looking at deeper causes of distress.
Many people come to him for issues such as depression, trauma, addiction, grief, intimacy and parenting concerns. He also supports those facing career pressures, compassion fatigue and the challenges of neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism. Money and financial issues are included among his focus areas when they affect wellbeing.
He uses a mix of approaches tailored to the person, including attachment‑based, client‑centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. Motivational interviewing and existential perspectives also shape his work when relevant. Therapy is paced to feel manageable and respectful of each person’s communication style.
Brett’s background includes senior clinical roles in the UK National Health Service and involvement in research, training and charity leadership. Outside therapy he mentors entrepreneurs and supports leadership development, which informs his work with people balancing wellbeing and high‑pressure roles.
How Brett’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and closeness. In practice this means talking about patterns in relationships and practising new ways of relating that feel safer and more comfortable.Client‑centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the conversation. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping people clarify values, choices and next steps.
Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they feed each other. This can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by trying out small changes and noticing the effects.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Brett will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and he adapts methods together with the person in therapy. That collaborative process helps shape sessions that match practical needs and emotional aims.
The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
